Join us, in this temporary Campaigns and Marketing Manager position, and you will be able to play a central role in promoting the Trust as a waterways and wellbeing charity. Working as part of our wider communication and marketing team, you'll be responsible for developing and creating content that raises awareness of the brand, boosts support for our charity, and encourages more people to visit the diverse spaces we look after. Specifically, this will mean taking the lead on various pre-planned communication campaigns, across media relations, digital, traditional marketing and fundraising.

About you

With a strong communications and marketing background, ideally in the charity sector, you’ll be used to playing a part in the creative development of new ideas, strategies and stories, and will have proven experience of managing events. You’ll also need to be a confident and accomplished writer, whether you’re creating copy for leaflets, posters, feature-length articles or the web.

About us

One of the UK’s biggest charities, we maintain 2,000 miles of historic canals, rivers, docks and reservoirs, along with museums, archives and the country’s third largest collection of protected historic buildings – preserving them for future generations. We believe living waterways transform places and enrich lives. Achieving this vision will be a fascinating challenge. Come and be part of it.
